Voltage is usually an indicator of some sort of quality. Anything over 12 volts should work reasonably well. Many of the cheap vacs are 3.6-4.8 volts.

This is a great hand held vac. Cost is about $150.

Good hand vac for sucking up whiteflies?

Here's what I am thinking about doing this year. I have a handheld cordless vac that can be used to suck up wet spills. After I hopefully vacuum up lots of those @#$%, then I'll suck up some soapy water into the holding cup. That ought to drown them. Don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a try.

Just sharing some info, not suggesting you go the way I did. 'couple years ago, decided to buy a blower/vac as a means of removing CPB (potato beetles) from my potato plants. They'd developed an immunity to all (at that time) dusts and similar traditional remedies. Worked fine in the Vac mode, not only sucked the little --------- up, but the grinder made short work of them. Since this was an experiment, didn't want to spend a lot on it. Discovered that Amazon sells reconditioned Ryobi units with a year warranty pretty cheap. Ordered the ZR08510, don't recall what I paid, but it wasn't much. Having now found a better CPB remedy, the Ryobi just sits in the barn and I start it occasionally to blow out the barn and my brother borrows it every fall for a couple of weeks to blow leaves off his patio, under the carport, etc. It's been almost 3 years and it works fine. Just some info. Ev Here is a link that might be useful: reconditioned ryobi

Central Vac Powerhead recommendation

Well, they are both very good power nozzles. Personally, I would prefer the Quiet Drive and I will tell you why. It has manual height settings, so the user can be in control of how high/low the power nozzle should be. The lower wand of the QD disconnects easily by stepping on a small pedal. This comes in handy when you want to disconnect from the power nozzle quickly. The user must reach down and disconnect the wand with his or her hand with the Wessell-Werk power nozzle. The QD is slightly easier to move around over carpeting. You have to decide how you are going to use the power nozzle and make a choice. Like I said earlier, they are both very good.

This may be overkill but I have it and use it as a mini shop vac, it can pick up sawdust etc and the wand is a great feature. Black & Decker FHV1200 Here is a link that might be useful: Black & Decker FHV1200

We love our regular Dyson so much that we purchased the hand vac. It's so much stronger than the other brands out there, and worth every cent of the cost (we have a 19month old...it gets a workout!)

We have the one below. Dh bought it for me at Christmas, and I was underwhelmed to say the least. I have to admit though that it is the best hand vac we've used and we've been using it like crazy.

I ended up with a Dirt Devil Quick Power because it was so cheap. Well cheap is what I got. Its exhaust air vents are aimed so that when you try to vacuum something up, itÂs blown all over the room. IÂm sorry I didnÂt listen to you all.

Last year I bought a 9.6 volt Black & Decker Dustbuster and its the greatest cordless vac I've had so far! It is plenty powerful and holds a charge a long time. Also the exhaust vent is placed so it won't blow dirt around.
